On New Year's night, Russian troops targeted at least four Shahed drones at residential buildings in the center of Kyiv. The enemy did this deliberately, Andriy Yermak, Head of Ukraine's Presidential Office, reports.
"The Russians struck regular buildings in the center of Kyiv. They intentionally aimed specifically at the capital's center on New Year's night. It is preliminarily known that at least four Shaheds attacked buildings in the center of Kyiv," Yermak stated.
The head of Ukraine's Presidential Office also added that law enforcement and experts are currently investigating everything promptly.
Consequences of Russia's attack on Kyiv
Due to the drone attack in the Pecherskyi district of the capital, partial destruction occurred on the 4th to 6th floors of a residential building, as well as a fire on the roof of a nearby non-residential building.
The roof of one of the buildings of the National Bank of Ukraine caught fire, but it was extinguished later.
Debris also fell in the Sviatoshynskyi district of Kyiv. A non-residential building was damaged, causing a fire.
In addition, debris damaged the track of the high-speed tram in the Borshchahivka neighborhood, but tram services have already been restored.
Currently, two deaths are reported in the capital, and six people have been injured, including pregnant women.
